Sunspray Summer Resort Guide: A Feast for the Senses | Genshin 5.8

Part of the Sunspray Summer Resort event in Genshin Impact 5.8, A Feast for the Senses is a combat-focused challenge designed around elemental reactions. Each of the four stages emphasizes a specific reaction type—like Electro-Charged, Melt, or Freeze—enhancing both strategic depth and damage potential. This guide breaks down the stage mechanics and recommends effective team comps to help you earn full rewards with ease.

 

How to Play

Each stage in A Feast for the Senses revolves around a designated Elemental Reaction—Electro-Charged, Melt, Freeze, or Burning. Triggering the correct reaction on enemies unleashes a shockwave that deals AoE damage and reduces relevant elemental resistances. Doing so also charges the Lightburst Soundsystem, a special stage mechanic that builds energy over time.

Once the Lightburst Soundsystem is fully charged, the challenge enters a QTE phase where players must tap buttons in rhythm to earn points. The stage begins with a 150-second timer, and any remaining time after the system is charged is used for the QTE phase to maximize your score.

Scoring 10,000 points in total will grant the full rewards for the current stage, so efficient reaction triggers and timely enemy defeats are crucial to success.

 

Stage 1: Rock 'n' Roll Thunderstorm

Stage Effect:

When a character triggers Electro-Charged or Lunar-Charged on an opponent, a shockwave will be unleashed at the opponent's position, dealing Electro DMG. This effect can be triggered once every 4s. Opponents hit by the shockwave will have their Electro and Hydro RES decreased by 45% for 5s.

Lightburst Soundsystem Effect:

The Lightburst Soundsystem will store more and more energy as time goes by. If a character defeats an opponent within 3s after triggering an Electro-Charged or Lunar-Charged reaction on them, the Lightburst Soundsystem will gain additional charge.
